We travelled to Bangkok and were excited to stay with our family at Canal House. It is in a good location but the property could use some upgrades.
There are moments of magic to have at Canal House but they are punctuated by other jarring experiences. For example, there is beauty in hearing the quiet that exists in a city of ten million people in the middle of the night yet this is juxtaposed with the roar of a canal boat that will drive by from 7 to 7.
The property could use upgrades to make it a more quality experience. The neighborhood is great and away from the tourist neighborhoods and the people are friendly and kind.
We have travelled to Air Bnbs all over the US and the world and this one offer some unique experiences and challenges. Ohm is a great host- good communicator and helped arrange transport. As Bangkok is a large city filled with a multitude of experiences, the canal house should be considered by your family. You will see river monitor lizards and hear fish jump.
The location is good and close to Wat Arun. Getting Grab Taxis to know where you need to go when you want to get home can be slightly challenging.

A glimpse into canal life in Bangkok that will likely change in the future.
